The Midretasssene Empire developed from the Kingdom of Midretasso and remained essentially a monarchy through the imperial period, lasting through the first half of the first millennium after Salmakhamer until it was conquered by the Yophenthean Empire in the sixth century AI. Midretassene heritage remains strongest in the Tassan Plateau of eastern Corundy. Midretasso borrowed and retransmitted components of late Kalaman Civilization throughout its empire. Midretasso was known for its dark religious superstitions, strong military organization, necromancers, gladiatorial combats, and pretense of the rule of law.

Government

The classical structure of the Midretassene Empire was a hereditary ruler, the over-king with nearly absolute military power and limited civil powers. Civil power was held in the Curia under the direction of an elected Meddix whose function was similar to a prime minister or speaker. Outside of Corundy and Throvy, civil authority was limited and directly subject to the military governor appointed by the over-king.

Midretassene Religion

Midretassene Gods are cultural adaptations of the Isxinthion Gods, like most Gwenyan Cultures, with additional divinities from the steppes and ancient Kalama.

Necromancy

Midretassene necromantic practices did not originate from ancient Gwenyan customs, but were borrowed from Pytharnia, either from the Moigthe or the Tuadbe and scholars generally believe that the ancient Neptultchi were the earliest source.
